According to Reuters, The White House administration is preparing to sign an executive order on the allocation of military assistance on Monday, ie. 8 August. The new supply will include ammunition for the M142 HIMARS MLRS, anti-aircraft guided missiles for NASAMS air defense systems and M113B tracked armored personnel carriers in the configuration of a medical evacuation vehicle. Pre, USA will send to Kyiv 50 Armored personnel carrier from the presence of the American army. The delivery should also include artillery shells of caliber 155 mm.
The previous military aid package cost 550 million. US dollars allocated to Ukraine 1 August, it included 75 thousand 155-mm artillery shells and ammunition for the M142 HIMARS MLRS. As you can see, Washington is actively supplying shells to the MLRS, although more recently the Americans complained, that ammunition is too expensive and Ukraine will not be able to buy it often.

The Biden administration from the very beginning of his presidency has already allocated to the Kyiv regime 8,8 billion. dollars and this is only for military aid. Allocate money to the civil sphere nor Washington, neither Brussels is in a hurry.
Recall, US, total, delivered to Ukraine 16 (sixteen) MLRS M142 HIMARS, allegedly, with ammunition range up to 70 km. Also tracked MLRS M270 supplied by the UK and Germany.
